As a slight trance spread throughout his body, Wang Zhifan regained consciousness in the blink of an eye, and then he found himself standing at the door of Evil Spirit Building for the second time, with four other players beside him.
"Sure enough, it still doesn't work... but this time there is no pain in my head."
Although he had expected that he could pass the level just by complimenting the BOSS, Wang Zhifan also knew that the probability of such a simple task was very small, so he naturally accepted the result of failure and calmly faced the situation Rewind had encountered before.
"We have just cleaned up this building, do you all remember it?"
The next second, his head looked left and then right, asking straightforward questions to his teammates on both sides.
"Huh?"
"Didn't we just arrive?"
"Brother, what are you talking about?"
The four teammates immediately cast questioning looks at him, and each one of them was just like Rewind did the first time before, completely unaware of his intention in saying these words.
"It's okay, I was joking."
Wang Zhifan immediately smiled and fooled him by laughing.
It was very different from the first time when he was so angry that he almost broke his defense when questioned by his teammates. This time he was quite calm in the face of their ignorant faces, because he was now 100% sure that this Evil Spirit Building had the ability to change the player's memory or cognition. At the same time, it could also constantly Rewind its own and the player's status, toying with everyone's applause.
"You like to torment people, don't you... Let's see if I can cure you!"
With a judgment in his mind, Wang Zhifan no longer expected to convince other teammates, and planned to deal with this disgusting person by himself.
I saw him immediately running to the side of the broken door of the building, taking out the Ocean Envoy scimitar from the portable space, and then ignoring the puzzled looks of the four players behind him, he started slashing at the wall of the building with the scimitar.
With the first blow, the Ocean Envoy in his hand easily cut through the wall, but the Heavy as the Abyss passive was not triggered.
With the second blow, the Ocean Envoy in his hand expanded the gap in the wall, but it still did not trigger the instant kill passive.
The third blow, Ocean Envoy, finally made the sound of waves washing against the rocks that he had expected, but the result was only to further expand the hole in the wall and not cause any other reaction.
With the fourth knife, a second hole was cut in the wall of the building.
The fifth knife...
Within a few seconds, Wang Zhifan's strange behavior attracted the attention of the four players behind, who expressed their confusion and tried to dissuade him.
"Brother, what are you doing? This wall is not a ghost..."
The young man with dark circles frowned and looked at Wang Zhifan who kept slashing at the wall with his knife.
"Little brother, please stop doing this! If you damage the load-bearing wall, the building will probably collapse! Then it will be difficult for us to clean up the ghosts inside!"
The greasy-faced middle-aged player was also puzzled by Wang Zhifan's confusing operation, so he chose to persuade him from aspects related to the task.
"Haha, sorry, I was just warming up the knife."
Wang Zhifan saw that he could not do anything to Evil Spirit Building after cutting so many times, so naturally he would not continue to be upset. He quickly put away the knife and stopped under the gaze of his teammates, and also found a lame excuse to defend himself.
"Okay, okay! When you're ready, let's go in and start killing monsters!"
The cold-faced female player was already a little impatient at this moment. She walked into the broken door of the building first, turned around and greeted everyone.
But the oily-faced middle-aged man behind her did not take a step at this time. Instead, he took out a small stool from the portable space and sat on the ground. At the same time, he looked at her and other players with a somewhat apologetic expression and said, "Sorry, I just spent too much energy on the road. Please let me rest for a while, otherwise I won't be able to play much role if I rush in."
Then when the oily-faced middle-aged man finished his words, the young man with dark circles next to him actually started to agree, "Yes! Actually, I feel a little tired. It's not easy to come this way. Let's take a rest first!"
After he finished speaking, he took out something like a newspaper from his pocket, placed it on the ground, and then sat on it to rest.
"Hmph! You can't do this at this point. Fortunately, you are still men!"
The cold-faced female player who had already walked into the door of the building immediately taunted her, but she couldn't go into the building alone to clean up the ghosts, so she could only stop and come out.
"Sister, one of us is a gunner and the other is a mage, how can we compare in physical strength with you, Warrior..."
The young man with dark circles who had been sitting on the ground immediately raised his head and defended him, saying that this was a disadvantage brought by their profession.
As for the girl in sportswear, she didn't say much at the moment, but she had already leaned against the wall and started to doze off with her eyes slightly closed. It was obvious that her personal energy was not particularly high.
"Haha... Each of you has cleaned the building at least once. Of course you will feel tired. What does it have to do with the road..."
Wang Zhifan, who was watching this scene, suddenly cursed in his heart. He knew very well where the physical strength of these players was really consumed, but due to the influence of Evil Spirit Building, he knew that even if he told the truth, these people would not believe him. They would only think that he was talking nonsense, and firmly believed that they all consumed a lot of physical strength on the way to Evil Spirit Building.
"Based on this point of view, this Evil Spirit Building is not a complete Rewind of the player's state. It does not restore the players to the state they were in when they first came to the building. It just transfers the players to the door of the building where the reset has been completed again and again, allowing the players whose memories have been modified to repeatedly kill monsters in vain, and then continue to accumulate injuries and fatigue..."
While everyone was resting, Wang Zhifan was also thinking about the characteristics of Evil Spirit Building. He felt that he already knew the tricks of this ghost, but he was still not sure how to crack it.
"Just now I used Ocean Envoy to try to instantly kill this building, but it had no effect at all. Maybe I didn't hit the right place, or maybe it was immune to the special effect of Heavy as the Abyss... But I can try other methods..."
After thinking for a moment, Wang Zhifan started the second operation while the other players were resting.
"Ice Source Power!"
I saw that he suddenly exploded with the power of his trump card, covering the entire Evil Spirit Building with a powerful ice power equal to that of an ancient ice dragon! The entire building turned into an iceberg nearly a hundred meters high in the blink of an eye! And in order to ensure that he could achieve his goal, his output this time was unreserved. Not only did he freeze the exterior of Evil Spirit Building, but he also showed no mercy to the interior of the building. They were all frozen solid with ice. He even paid special attention to the underground of the building and did not spare the underground floors of the building. In short, this time he tried his best to eliminate Evil Spirit Building at once! The result of this violent attack was also very different from when he slashed the building just now. With a slight sense of trance, he found that he was Rewind again.
He once again appeared at the door of the unfinished building, with four players still beside him, and there were still some traces of ice on their bodies.
For example, part of the back clothes of the girl in sportswear who had been sleeping against the wall of the building was frozen into a block. This was the inevitable effect of Wang Zhifan's all-out attack on Evil Spirit Building. If Wang Zhifan hadn't deliberately let Ice Source Power avoid them, they would have died long ago.
"This place is so weird! The temperature suddenly dropped so low just now that my butt was numb from the cold!"
At this moment, the dark-rimmed young man who regained consciousness reached out and patted his somewhat stiff butt, and couldn't help but complain. Then he bent down and picked up the newspaper-like item at his feet, and found that it was also frozen like cardboard.
This scene immediately inspired Wang Zhifan, who suffered another failure.
"Since this Evil Spirit Building cannot Rewind the player's items, you can try to leave evidence on the player's items to prove that the player's memory has indeed been modified... But this operation may not be successful. Maybe the players' memories will be modified by Evil Spirit Building to force an explanation... And what if they know the truth? For brainstorming?"
Wang Zhifan had a conflicting mentality at this time. On the one hand, he had a way to prove what he wanted to say to them, but on the other hand, he doubted what it would do to let the players recognize the reality. He felt that it would not be of critical help in clearing this copy. What was even worse was that this kind of proof might have to be repeated every Rewind.
While he was struggling in his mind, he didn't notice the doubtful look flashing in the eyes of the greasy-faced middle-aged man next to him. The oldest player among the five was staring at a small bench on the ground in front of him. He seemed a little confused about why his item appeared there. To be more specific, he wondered why he took it out and put it there before walking elsewhere. This behavior pattern was not in line with his habits at all.
With some questions that were difficult to explain to himself, the player then stepped forward, picked up the small bench on the ground, stared at it for two seconds, then put it on the ground again and sat on it to start resting.
"Everyone, I feel a little tired. Let's rest first before entering the building to clean up."
The person sat on the small stool and spoke, starting the third Rewind break.
"I also want to take a rest. Do you still have this kind of stool?"
The young man with dark circles who was slapping his frozen butt saw this and begged him. He could see that the stool under the other person's butt was just an ordinary item, so he was not worried that the other person would not lend it to him if he had something similar.
"If you want to sit down, I can give you the stool, but please let me use the newspaper in your hand."
As expected, the middle-aged player immediately agreed, but he asked the dark-eyed young man to lend him the newspaper in his hand.
"Okay, but what do you want this newspaper for?"
Upon seeing this, the young man with dark circles handed the almost frozen newspaper in his hand to the oily-faced middle-aged man, but the oily-faced middle-aged man did not answer. Instead, he stood up and handed him his stool, took the newspaper, and then took out a square box and put it under his buttocks instead of a stool. Then he took out a pen-like thing and started writing and drawing on the newspaper.
Wang Zhifan didn't pay attention to this ordinary scene. He was quietly thinking about how to solve the current situation.
"Perhaps the key to breaking the situation lies with the BOSS on the top floor of the building? It is the only ghost in the building that can talk, but it has a strong desire to attack. You can try to control it and torture it to see if you can get some information."
Feeling that this might be the case, Wang Zhifan decisively took action again. He first quietly walked into the building to rest against the wall, and then controlled the Dream Self clone he had left in the building to quickly reach the upper floors of the building. In the middle He passed all the ghosts reset by the building and went straight to the BOSS door on the top floor. Then he activated his Entering Dreams and Dreambreaking abilities to transfer his position and directly arrived at the BOSS door on the top floor of the building.
In order not to attract the attention of other ghosts on this floor and cause extra trouble, as soon as he appeared on the top floor, he activated Weird Shadow Shoes's devious ability to pass through the wall and enter the BOSS door. At the same time, when he saw the old man in the spirit body inside, he instantly activated Ice Source Power to control it, so that its movements would not attract other targets.
This evil spirit of an old man in a suit with a somewhat transparent body is actually not weak, so it is not easy for him to control the opponent. What's more, just now he launched Ice Source Power with all his strength, which consumed a lot of money.
"Evil spirit! Tell me! How can I stop this building Rewind? If you don't tell the truth, I will be rude to you!"
While maintaining Ice Source Power's strong suppression of the BOSS, Wang Zhifan shouted and asked him, as if he was interrogating a human being rather than a ghost.
But what surprised him was that the BOSS seemed to really understand what he said, and he saw excitement flashing through its transparent eyes, so he immediately lowered the ice suppression on it so that it could respond.
"Hahaha! Rewind? That's to keep you! You can never leave here! Just wait and become one of us! Hahaha..."
This ghost with the ability to communicate laughed and said something that had little to do with Wang Zhifan's problem, and then disappeared in front of Wang Zhifan's eyes within a few seconds. Even if Wang Zhifan used Ice Source Power to suppress it, it could not be stopped.
"This thing cannot be interrogated at all... but this practice at least proves that just destroying it will not cause Rewind."
Seeing that everything was as usual after he killed the BOSS first, Wang Zhifan realized that this ghost might not be as important to Evil Spirit Building as he thought, but the other party's words also made him pay attention to one thing, that is, is it true that it said don't even think about leaving?
In order to verify this, he began to sense the two clones of Dream Self that he had placed outside the city before entering the building for the first time, and wanted to try to use Entering Dreams and Dreambreaking to transfer to the location of those two clones to stay away from Evil Spirit Building.
But this operation made him open his eyes instantly, because he suddenly found that the spiritual connection between himself and the two clones seemed to be vaguely separated by something. It was difficult for him to control them, let alone activate the ability to transfer them!
